Principles of Life

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.
No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
Money is not yours until you spend it.

When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth, when you are old, you use your wealth to regain your health.
How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.
No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Lunar New Year 2012

This is the year of the water dragon and there are a lot of predictions about the year. 2012 seems to be a great year judging by the comparisons made with the previous year.

Feng Shui practitioners have been giving insights on the predictions for the year. Every Feng Shui practitioner does not want to miss anything out and is jumping on to the bandwagon. We have to activate the chi when receiving the God of Wealth on New Year Eve. The Feng Shui practitioners also give us dates for opening after the new year. These dates are auspicious and will be a good start for the year. On the other hand, there are dates in the year that we have to avoid at all costs.

In less than a week, we will be celebrating the lunar new year. Let hope the new year will bring abundance, joy and happiness to all of us.

Processed foods

We have the power to change our eating habits by refusing to buy all the processed junk sold at bargain prices. Think about the impact the processed junk food has on our health. Take a closer look at what is being served on the dining table.

Whenever we choose highly processed mass produced food, you also got a bargain on our well being. The money we saved by buying those cheap foods will end up getting spent on improving our health. When we are young and healthy, we chase after wealth. When we are sick, we use wealth to regain our health.

A doctor once said `If you don't put diesel in a gas driven car, why would we put chemicals in our body through unnatural foods'. Think again, people are going for organic foods and health has become a priority.
